Public School Services
A school's most valuable asset is it's people. The needs of the various departments that make your school run smoothly, such as bus drivers, food service, maintenance, administrators, coaches, substitute teachers, and special education staff all continue to get more complicated as regulations change.
Compounding this problem is the business climate here in Michigan and in much of the U.S. Schools are facing dramatic reductions in revenue for the foreseeable future, which puts pressure on the organization as a whole to essentially get more out of less.
Outsourcing certain groups of employees can remove much of the burden of administration and mitigate the risk of failure to keep up with changing Federal and State employement and benefit compliance.
Employee leasing, as this strategy is called, allows you to maintain workplace and institutional control over your employees and the rules that govern their jobs, while the leasing company takes responsibility for administering the payroll, workers compensation, unemployment, fringe benefits and a host of other human resource related tasks that you choose.
Outsourcing and Employee Leasing programs give you the control and flexibility to tailor the payroll, benefit, and human resource policies of your organization to meet your unique needs and control costs.

In addition to the numerous benefits that will accrue to your school by entering into an Employee Leasing arrangement with Midwest, you may also be able to reap tremendous financial benefits to your school.
In certain situations, an Employee Leasing arrangement through Midwest removes the obligaion to contribute into the MPSERS (Michigan Public Schools Employee Retirement System) retirement plan on leased employees (an approximately 16-18% ANNUAL savings).
